THE PICKOUT 1923 progresses. Lombard and Hart are working hard for the producing of a successful season, and they have the power to accomplish this task. The baseball team has one of the stiffest schedules ever prepared, but it also has a bright outlook with hlacher as captain. Several other Seniors will un- doubtedly appear in the line-up. The mid-year exams have just passed and we are hoping that every member of the class of twenty-three has done his level best to reach the goal now only a few weeks away. VVe are busily engaged on our Theses, and other subjects, yet we are active in other school affairs for we find a Senior at the head of the co-operative store, the lunch room, and we also lay claim to the manager and editor of the Teart, as well as having Senior presidents of the Alembic and Engineering Societies. The time is fast approaching when we can only look back in retrospect at those days so full of memories, and when we shall stand loaded with knowledge, at the brink of a yawning, cavernous abyss, gazing into the great beyond, into the future, which can be pierced by no mere mortal eyes. We shall stand there waitingg waiting to be ruthlessly pushed off, only to fall down,- down,-down through an inflnitude of space, until we strike upon the sharp rocks of practical experience in t.he textile world. Bl ay every member of nineteen twenty-three carry on the standards we have set, and grow in knowledge. lVe lead. others follow. Q6

THE PICKOUT 1923 The baseball team under the leadership of Captain Sullivan worked hard and pulled through a tough season. Blanchard, Claude Fa.rwell, Ray Farwell, and Macher aided in gaining the success, for these men were all stars in the line-up. Spring came early this year after a soft, mild winter, for the snow did not lay very deep on our city streets although occasionally the temperature had taken sudden drops. We took advantage of the good weather a.nd many of us found lonely places to stroll on the moonlight nights when we took tl1e girl for a walk. How heartless the element of time is, for it passed away very quickly, and we would have to leave the loved one, and return to our various homes about the midnight hour. ' , Final examinations broke up many of our good times, but summer vacation was the reward and again we scattered, some going to distant hillsides, while others remained in nearby towns and cities for their summer's work. SENIOR DAYS 1922--1993 Many years have passed since a band of youths, sturdy, eager and well-mean- ing, although ignorant, but. withal, intelligent beyond tl1eir years, crossed the mighty Merrimack and joined the mighty throng that have been here before. Our numbers had swelled by the addition of the Diploma candidates as we embarked upon the final year. VVithout the aid of this class the history of the school would have been nil. VVe entered with a blank look of unexpectancy in our eyes, and placed ourselves meekly and confidingly at the mercy of that group of men called the Faculty. VVe were the shapeless mass of clay, and they the a.rtists who held what we called future, and in four years we were to return to the world as a work of art, the product of L. T. S. How reverently the Juniors looked up to us, how much respect the Sophomores had for us cannot be expressed in writing, whilst. the Freshmen looked forward for our protection and guidance. Wie had no time, however, t.o think of worldly joys for work was pressing down upon us from all sides and our tasks were numerous, while our troubles were the kind that could be readily solved after a short time. Captain Lombard with the aid of Ray Farwell, George F iendel, Newton Hardie, Ken Smith, Andrew Barrett, Howard Hart and Earl VVilmot had a successful foot- ball season and Burnet Valentine managed the team, and prepared a good stiff schedule. The basketball team under the leadership of Captain Smith have been trav- elling at a fast rate this season with hopes of capturing more honors as the season 25

THE PICKOUT 1923 DAVID ANNAPOLSKY E Q W' lVinthrop. lN1ilSSilClll1S6t.tS navni' ANNA Class Baseball 1. F2, 3, 4 Rams Class Football 1 Dramatic and Musieal Club Q. 3 Class Basketball Q, 3, 4 In 1919, Dave entered our college as one more of the graduates of the Boston English High School who came to Lowell Textile School to gain a. higher education. Anna hails from the regions of the sea, the town of VVinthrop, but take it from those who know him, he is no relation to the famous food-article, namely fish. Since he came to our school he has gained a name for himself as the boy with the perpetual sunny smile and a pleasing personality. However. there is one uncommon fault with him. Oh! how he hates the women. Out in Winthrop, everyone thinks that Rodolf Valentino is our Dave Annapolsky under disguise. Vile have heard considerable about what the wool king. William Vlfood, has done for the lVoolen Industry, but when our Anna with the sunny dispo- sition gets out in the business world. he bids fair t.o make as big a name for him- self. Good luck to you and may we hear of you in the future. To him who smiles so pretty And has such winning ways, life dedicate this little story To the boy that's known as Dave 27
